Headed to Provo, Utah bright and early Thursday morning.
Jason got a speeding ticket just outside of town. Determined to not let it spoil our morning.
Stopped at the Cheese Factory in Beaver, Utah for Squeaky Cheese
Visited Chuck, Diane and kids in Beaver. Toured their new BEAUTIFUL house, ate lunch, and let the kids get some energy out.
Stopped in Mapleton, Utah to see the Trapnell’s. So happy they are back on the West Coast. Toured their new BEAUTIFUL house. Visited. Laughed.
Got all settled at The Mohlers townhouse in Provo. Thanks Dad & Mom.
Met up with Trapnell’s again for dinner to celebrate Dr. Greg Trapnell’s graduation. 10 years of schooling. Congrats to them both for surviving.
Visited at the townhouse with Greg and Noel until we couldn’t stay awake any longer.
Friday. Got to the Parade late. Still got a good seat. Troy waved to everyone. Cloey didn’t want it to end. Thankful it wasn’t over 100 degrees. Nice cloud cover.
Took the kids to buy candy they had earned.
Staked out our spot for the fireworks. Only in Utah can you leave blankets on the lawn in the morning and expect them to still be there at night.
Stopped at a Farmers Market to buy Corn, Cherries and Peas. Love Utah for that sort of thing.
Went to the Movies. First time we have taken our whole family to a movie in a Theater. Realized how old my babies are getting.
Tried to go bowling. It was closed.
Went to the Creamery for Ice Cream. Sat on the lawn to eat it. Enjoyed listening to my kids laugh and be nice to each other. Soaked it in because it doesn't happen everday.
Went to the park. Ran around and played with the kids. Jason and I both realized how out of shape we are getting. Excited that we were together as a family.
Ate dinner. Headed to our spot for the fireworks.
Tried the wear the kids out. Took them up and down a set of stairs 20 times. Walked them. Played catch with them. (that sounds like their puppies) Waited for the Fireworks.
Spectacular Firework Show. Loved the look on my kid’s faces. Troy whispered Holy Cow softly to himself. Felt very blessed seeing my kids all cuddled up with their Dad.
Waited in traffic Forever. Me, Macy & Troy decided to walk back to the townhouse.
Saturday. Wanted to sleep in. Decided this trip wasn’t just for ME.
Went Bowling. Also a first for the whole family. Had a lesson from Jaden on “if you hit a pin on this angle it will cause this reaction.” Amazed at how he gets that stuff.
Ate at The Pizza Factory. We LOVE their Garlic Bread Twist. Bittersweet moment that I don't need to cut any ones food up anymore.
Spent the rest of the day and evening at Seven Peaks Water Park. Wished there was one in Vegas. Cloey showed her dare devil side. Jason thrilled he has a someone big enough to go on the scary slides with, since his wife is a chicken. Jaden can officially say he is much braver than his mom. Reminisced about Wet n’ Wild days with Jason.
Kids bathed and zonked out. Jason picked Stephen up from the airport; he spent the night with us. They brought back Ice Cream and a Movie. Enjoyed the kids being asleep.
Sunday. Jason took Stephen back to the airport bright and early. He climbed back in bed with me and we slept in. So did the kids. Decided we better get moving. Jason took the kids to the Laundry Mat to wash sheets and towels. I cleaned and packed.
Headed home. Grateful for a safe trip and Fun memories.

Looks like you guys had so much fun!!! And it also looks like it's time for baby #5. All your kids are so big now, think of the help they could be!!!
I wish that we could have seen you! Emma would LOVE all the kids! Let's try to get together soon!
How fun!! Man I was tired after reading everything that you guys did!! I love those kinds of family memories, your kids will remember that trip!
It sounds like so much fun! These are the moments we work so hard for. I could picture you sitting on the grass while your kids all got along. I had that exact same feeling the other day when we spent the entire day out in the pool. It's too bad it can't always be that way!
I love going to Utah valley for the 4th. We missed it this year...glad you hit Mapleton too. Next time make sure you check out the Wandering Wardrobe on main street...I always like looking at their really nice 2nd hand stuff.
sounds like so much fun! Loved the run down of the trip-we need to meet in Utah sometime soon
